We all love a good little tale, don't we? Especially if it comes with a twist into the whimsical. But we also know that it takes time to make it short and sound light-handed.
If you can spare a small amount please consider helping @Teryl_Pacieco to free up their mind from material worries.
More support = higher chance of fresh ideas 😀

Our #Bookbug and #TinyTales sessions are taking a short break at #CoatbridgeLib during the summer while building work occurs within the library. We hope to get these sessions back as soon as possible. Watch out for further updates.
Although our #TinyTales sessions at #CoatbridgeLib are on a short break, it will return on Wednesday 22 May at the slightly changed time of 1pm. We can't wait to welcome the little ones back.
#Bookbug and #TinyTales are taking a short break for the next couple of weeks at #CoatbridgeLib and will return from week beginning Monday 20 May.
I like today's #wss366 word, "wave." Looking forward to seeing the stories we get. Yesterday's for "paw" were great! #microfiction #TinyTales #SmallStories #writing #prompt
The river #runs from sunset to sunrise: it yearns toward that bright, near star. But the river is also endlessly curious, and so it weaves north, then south, in giant curves. It would never fall for the arid myth of directness; it knows the wisdom of wandering. But at some points in its journey it does flow directly east. How glorious dawns are at those points, when its length is transformed into liquid fire, honoring the sun. #wss366 #microfiction #prompt #TinyTales
"It is my #sincere wish," said the flickering VHS recording of the twins' recently deceased father, "that the two of you will put aside your animosity and learn to work together. If you can, you're worthy to inherit my vast fortune, my cellars full of gold, my stocks and bonds, my rare financial instruments. Indeed, I am betting your lives on it. This chamber has now been sealed. You have an hour of oxygen remaining. Good luck, my ornery offspring!" #wss366 #microfiction #TinyTales

"You got us a gig?! You got us a gig! Wohoo, BEST DAY EVER! I **knew** you'd be a great agent." Tanager gave Brian a lung-compressing hug, then turned to the rest of the band. "Let's run through our set--we have a gig to practice for!"

Brian didn't have the constitution to tell her to #temper her expectations--that this gig was a birthday party, and not a quinceañera, either. Ah well, he mused. Every group has to start somewhere. #wss366 #microfiction #TinyTales
